The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1114

Charles sounded upset. He was in a complete mess in his mind. Things just went out of the hands, and they could do nothing about it. It was a mix of embarrassment, humiliation, and helplessness that came out in the form of anger. There was complete silence between Charles and Sheryl. She could hardly bring herself to look into his eyes.

Sheryl went numb after what had happened. The only sensation she could feel in her heart was just a sting of seeing Charles seething in anger. She thought he was angry just because he did not believe in her.

She had lost her voice. Her eyes were burning in rage. She just lowered her head and tried with all her might to accept what she had just gone through.

After all the back-breaking hard work she had put in to make this project a grand success, the last thing she had expected was being stabbed by the client in this manner. As the situation turned out, Sheryl had fallen prey to Rachel's plot. She had been used as a pawn and thrown out after serving the purpose.

Just as Sheryl could not look at Charles, even he avoided eye contact with her. There was complete silence between the two of them as the car zoomed out of the parking lot. After a long time, he turned his head and glanced at Sheryl.

And in that one glance, his heart wrenched as he saw Sheryl silently shedding tears in her seat.

"Sher…I-I don't mean that, Sher. I believe you. I am just worried about how to deal with those reporters, and how to suppress those reports!" Charles explained anxiously. He knew that he was the only person whom Sheryl could turn to for support at this hour of despair. He tried to comfort her.

Sheryl's mood was a bit calmer, but she was still a little angry.

"Well, wipe your tears, okay? It was entirely my fault. I didn't check the details of Tarsan Corporation at first. That is the reason that led you to face such a big debacle." Charles took the blame on himself as he handed over the napkin to Sheryl. "Don't cry, Sher. You look so beautiful now. If you continue crying, your makeup will be smudged." He smiled at her as he tried to divert her mind. She tried to acknowledge his efforts to make her feel better and force a smile, but her eyes could not conceal the pain in her heart. Tears oozed out of them uncontrollably. As she wiped her tears with the napkin, she broke into a suppressed sob.

At the same time in the wine party, Rachel and Holley were very happy at first. Initially, everything went on as their plans. However, Charles' intervention in their revenge drama played a spoiler to their game. It came as something like a foul dessert after a wonderful meal that marred the enjoyment completely.

Rachel was very angry and jealous. Sheryl cheated on him in front of so many famous businessmen in Y City. Yet he still helped her and protected her from all the gossips!

Rachel was fuming in anger to see the strong bond between Charles and Sheryl. She thought, 'Charles, in your heart, Sheryl is still quite important after so many years!

Well, now let me see how long you can remain the same lovey-dovey duo. I will make life hell for both of you. And that's a promise. Let me see how long your love survives under such external pressure.'

"Ms. Bai, don't be angry. We have already achieved a great feat. Now we need to be very cautious at every step. Never underestimate Sheryl to be soft. Had it been the case, she would not have created so much trouble for us in the past." Holley marked the malicious look on Rachel's face and remarked in order to make her feel good.

"I know." Rachel gritted her teeth as she spoke. She pulled her fingers together in a fist. "Anyway, I'll definitely teach her a befitting lesson this time!" Rachel said with a harsh voice.

"Her doting husband will trust her for once. But when such incidents follow one after another, how long will he believe and protect her? This is just the beginning. Just wait and watch. After all, the most unbearable thing for a man is breaking of trust! " A sinister smile spread on Holley's face and her eyes sparkled. After experiencing so many things, Holley seemed to be smarter than before.

But it was a pity that her cleverness never proved to be useful whenever and wherever it was needed the most.

"Yes, I won't let Sheryl live in peace," Rachel nodded.

"Ms. Bai, how do we handle the wine party now?" Irene looked at the mess all over the party hall and quickly ran to ask Rachel for opinion, looking exasperated.

Rachel and Holley were backstage together since Sheryl left. Looking at the flabbergasted look on Irene's face, Rachel gave her a casual smile.

"Why don't you just put it all back in order? Just follow Sheryl's plan to execute one step after the other." Then Rachel gritted her teeth once again and admitted, "Even though I hate Sheryl, I can't deny her excellent planning skills. Plus with her scandal out in the media now, this time, Tarsan Corporation's first wine party in Y City will definitely grab the attention of the public!"

It just was her conspiracy; she not only wanted to make use of Sheryl, but also destroy Sheryl!
